Heat and cold resistant roofing tiles

Roofclix® contribute to energy saving by decreasing cooling and heating costs, while simultaneously reducing CO₂ emissions. The system consists of lightweight ballast tiles which are highly durable, and enable significant energy savings on non-insulated or poorly insulated roofs, and also providing large savings on well insulated roofs.  

Roofclix® roofing tiles for flat roofs

The Roofclix® roof consists of hard white plastic roofing tiles interconnected by fittings that are clicked together. The tiles are sealed with a bound insulating material and are lightweight, with the base product weighing only 8 kg per m² making them very labour friendly. If necessary tiles can be produced to a weight of approximately 35 kg per m².
The Roofclix® roofing tiles can usually be easily installed on any flat or slightly sloping roof construction without any adjustments or the need for tools. In case of roof inspections they can be removed and re-installed.

Sound absorbing

The Roofclix® tiles provide significant reduction of noise from air traffic and heavy rain fall, a feature which is of particular benefit to steel construction roofs.

Storm-proof

The Roofclix® basic tiles are storm-proof since they are interconnected by connectors which provide proper force distribution. The recesses, at all four sides of the panels, ensure pressure equalization. Furthermore, the connectors are glued to the underlying roof at strategic points, including corners and alongside the eaves of the roofs, with Roofclix® adhesive paste. In spite of the low weight of the basic elements, the force distribution and
adhesion provide a stable ballast surface on any suitable flat roof. Practical tests performed in the Dutch coastal areas have proven that the Roofclix® system remains solidly in place for
over three years in spite of high winds.

Water management

The Roofclix® system provides optimal water management since the water can run off freely under and across the roofing elements. The load exerted onto the underlying roof is minimized, unlike roofs with pebbles or concrete tiles. These often show growth, the root formation of which hampers quick drainage of rainwater. This often results in extra heavy load exertions onto lighter roof constructions. On roofs near trees there is often vegetation on the roof, which turns into sludge ponds because of the vegetation retention, and cannot blow away. Consequently further vegetation can build up. Who cares about the future chooses Roofclix roofing elements When Roofclix® are applied, vegetation cannot fall into these ponds and is free to blow away when it is dry.

Sizes and ventilated cavity layer

The size of a single Roofclix® tile is 400 x 400 x 40 mm. The size of the connectors are 260 mm round at a height of 65 mm. Where the fitting sits on the roof surface, a cavity exists between it and the panel, allowing the roofing element to lay 25 mm clear of the underlying roofing, which creates a ventilated cavity layer. Roofclix® tiles are installed on a water-proof layer, protecting the underlying roofing against damage during construction and against fast deterioration by UV radiation and significant weather and temperature changes. Normal foot traffic is possible to a uniform load of 150 kg per element

Load

The elements are installed on a water-proof layer. Normal foot traffic is possible to a uniform load of 150 kg per element and protects the underlying roofing against damage during construction and against fast deterioration by UV radiation and significant temperature changes.

Bitumen odor

When over-heated raw bitumen can give off an unpleasant and penetrating odour. Homes that are connected to lower roofs like apartments can suffer from this inconvenience in
particular.This odour can also be drawn into a building through the air conditioning units and mechanical ventilation shafts. This can be quite unpleasant for those inside the building. The Roofclix® tiles cover the bitumen layer so it cannot warm up enough to release any fumes.
